The 5th Workshop on Bitcoin and Blockchain Research

Overview

Bitcoin has caught the attention of academic researchers, financial market participants, law enforcement,
mainstream media, and government regulators across the globe. As a subject of academic research, Bitcoin and
blockchains more generally raise interesting questions across a variety of disciplines ranging from computer science
to law and economics. BITCOIN is the longest-running peer-reviewed workshop bringing together interested scholars who
study cryptographic currencies and their supporting ecosystems from technical and
socio-economic perspectives.

The workshop is part of the International Conference on Financial Cryptography and Data Security, a premier
forum for research, advanced development, education, exploration, and
debate regarding information assurance, with a specific focus on
commercial contexts.
